Homegrown Hope

Students and school staff in the Brewerton area have a helping hand in Homegrown Hope, a nonprofit organization at the western end of Oneida Lake in Onondaga County. It works with CSSD to address the critical needs of students and staff in the community, a mission rooted in the neighborhood.

Community groups like this fill gaps that make it easier for children to show up ready to learn and for staff to do their jobs. It’s a neighbor-helping-neighbor effort, rooted in the Brewerton area, and that local focus keeps the help where it’s needed.
